Toxic painting gas

I finished my new cage about 2 weeks ago. I brushed the inside brown and like 1-2 days it smells like paint, then it was gone.

But after 3 days when I put on the lights/heating and it became like 30 degrees celcius in there, new painting-smell came out.

Now its like 2-3 weeks later and im still smelling paint when the heating is on!!

Wtf..i dont think its very healty for my new boa (which i dont have yet but will be getting in 9 days..!) but for some reason it won't go away!

I got the lights on about 16 hours a day (the cage is empty) to let the smell go out and got the windows nearly closed..just a small gap for fresh air. I can't totally open them because then it won't become warm inside. I also tried to totally close the cage and open the windows totally, but its still there.

Does anyone knows a quick method to get rid of this smell and if its harmfull for my boa? The paint-brush was based on "acryl" paint or something liket hat...


*help* !
